We really can't have anything nice. Why is it that people still believe that women are natural villains? We look at the movie Gone Girl and the real life implications it has had on crime victims. We discuss difficult topics including sexual assault. Please use discretion. Join the conversation!

We watched Saltburn! And if you haven't seen it, it is probably best watched without knowing much about it, because once you start to analyze it, it kind of falls apart. But hey! At least it's pretty! Join the conversation!

After a long hiatus, These Are Bad Movies is back, and.... a little rusty. Join Amy and Amanda as they discuss Bill & Ted Face the Music and why some franchises should just stay dead.

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is the most beautiful, sensitive, thoughtful, mother daughter drama to ever have an extended butt plug scene. Why? What are we really going for here?! Oh, and also there was all the crying in the movie theatre. What's wrong with us? Join the conversation!

Nicolas Cage really will do any movie that's pitched to him, and he'll really give it his all. So.... Wicker Man has that going for it. And Nicolas Cage ALMOST makes up for the lack of plot, or character development, or writing. But seriously Hollywood, get your witches straight.  Join the conversation!

Wait! This podcast is supposed to be about bad movies. What is this good movie?  First Blood? Rambo?  There is no possible way this is a good movie.  Join the conversation!

The 2009 Star Teck movie takes bad to a whole new level. Just reviewing this movie was psychologically damaging. How did this one get a sequel? And why does J.J. Abrams get work?

This week we get to look at Amanda's childhood dreams. Spoiler - she wanted to grow up to be Iron Man. Seems reasonable enough. What's wrong with that. Join the conversation!

Raiders of the Lost Arc might be the single most important movie of Amy's childhood. Amanda, however, is not impressed. In this episode we tackle the tough issues like - Is Indiana Jones actually from Indiana? Is the museum blackmailing Indy, and if so, with what? And why does Amanda feel like kink shaming everyone in this movie? Join the conversation! Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/Thes...

From beloved children's book to problematic movie, Ender's Game is a fan favorite, but what does it say about our personal self image? Are there too many people who want to be the smartest person in the room? This all star cast at least packs a cinematic punch even if it is still a bad movie. Join the conversation!

Possibly the second best YA dystopian fantasy novel ever written, Divergent really shows its true colors on the big screen. Amy is slightly (but not entirely) embarrassed to admit that she was a fan of this book when it was released. But, fan or not, this movie gets less enjoyable every time you watch it.

We know your dad loves this movie. Cut him some slack we all like bad things.  On this episode we discuss how The Great Escape formed dangerous standards of masculinity for an entire generation of American men. We also discuss the real people involved in the escape this movie is loosely based on. Fun fact! Steve McQueen won best actor at the Moscow International Film Festival for his performa...

#HotEarthSummer  We're shaking things up with a good movie this week. Or at least Amy thinks its good, which isn't saying much. We take a deep look at Don't Look Up and how it represents the current climate crisis. Join the conversation!

We knew this movie was going to be stupid, but it actually surprised us! It was beyond stupid. Amy had a good time though! There are just so many things wrong with this movie, but perhaps the worst offense was not the poor adhesion to dinosaur realism, it was the uncritical acceptance of Elon Musk. Come on Jurassic World! We really expect more from our dinosaur based action adventure films. Join t...

Hey Y'all are you ready for the first installment of #HotEarthSummer!? This is the first in our series on climate change in movies and how it may not be helping with the effort to fight climate change. We're starting things off with The Day After Tomorrow, the 2004 Jake Gyllenhaal film that imagines a global super storm that brings in a new ice age. This storm, and the plot line, really sucks... c...

STAR WARS!? But why? It's beloved! It's wholesome..... or is it? Why does this franchise seem to bring out the worst in so many people? And does it really have an anti-fascist message?

It's 4th of July weekend and what a time to be an American! All this military hasn't been able to defend our freedoms after all, but the Top Gun franchise sure would like you to think that all is well and good guys are just out there doing good guy stuff (whatever that means).

We noticed some odd activity in our podcast metrics the other day. It looks like an oddly large number of people just outside of Washington D.C. decided to comb through our back catalog. So this episode is dedicated to the FBI! We discuss the 2004 movie Mind Hunters with LL Cool J and Christian Slater. Maybe this movie will be a little nostalgic for our new friends!

Roger Ebert and Amy both give this movie "thumbs up," but Amanda has different feelings. Join us for all the glory of the oddly lovable (at least to Amy) disaster film "Knowing." Sure it's filled to the brim with fundamentalist ideology, but it's just so darn fun.

Terminator is an iconic movie that really is fun to watch. It also attempts to give a warning about the dangers of certain technology developments. It could have been a good movie. It should be a good movie. But for some reason a bunch of fools must have gotten really mixed up on the message here. Why are so many people still trying to build Skynet? Join the conversation!
